Outside the hotspots you still have cheap housing.  Whole country is hotspot here. A small town house is similar to the average UK price. Can you get something half decent in the US for 200-300k USD?  Aucklands absurd but so are the smaller centers relative to their size. 25% hike last year due to cheap borrowing.  We pay about $50 a week in rates to local council. Cousin pays $390 a week on a one bedroom flat. More price spikes expected if the border reopens. If you want to disfe Covid and can get a visa don't bother unless you're a DINK on good money or have half a million+ or so in the bank.</blockquote>
